Who Is the ‘Ketamine Queen’ Who Allegedly Supplied Matthew Perry’s Lethal Dose?

Jasveen Sangha, the woman authorities have accused of supplying the ketamine that actor Matthew Perry died from using, is said to have had an extensive network for distributing the drug, but little is known about the woman police say is known as “the ketamine queen.”

Sangha, according to the Department of Justice, which held a press conference about the investigation on Thursday, “took advantage of Mr. Perry by selling large amounts of ketamine to Mr. Perry over a two-week period in October of 2023,” and “sold approximately 50 vials of ketamine for approximately $11,000.” Working together with urgent care doctor Salvador Plasencia, a “broker” named Erik Fleming, and Perry’s live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa (who would inject Perry with the drug himself), Sangha “took advantage” of Perry’s relapse, according to authorities. A second doctor, Mark Chavez, was also charged.

A search of Sangha’s home uncovered a “drug -selling emporium,” they also said, which housed “80 vials of ketamine, thousands of pills containing methamphetamine, cocaine, bottles of Xanax and other illegally obtained prescription drugs.” According to The Daily Mail, Sangha was living well off that emporium.
